Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev

I've been programming a game in SDL and I was surprised that SDL was reporting that 1 joystick was connected when there were none. SDL provides the name as "A4Tech USB Full Speed". "ls /dev/input" shows one joystick connected:

by-id event0 event2 event4 event6 event8 mice mouse1
by-path event1 event3 event5 event7 js0 mouse0

lsusb shows my mouse as:

Bus 003 Device 003: ID 09da:8090 A4 Tech Co., Ltd

Unplugging the mouse makes /dev/input/js0 disappear.
